An optical filter composite (10) effectively filters infrared emissions, such as solar or laser emissions, while providing very high visible light transmission, preserving the ability to differentiate and recognize colors and providing a pleasing overall color as compared to the prior art. The optical filters (10) are formed by lamination, infusion and/or coating processes using constructions having a neutral color with high visible light transmission.
The present invention relates generally to safety eyewear (100) and more particularly to a safety eyewear (100), either alone or in combination, having a nose piece structure (200) with multiple axes of adjustment, a horizontal ledge (300) defined within a lens (120) of the safety eyewear (100) for attaching the nose piece structure (200), a wicking device (400) attached to the safety eyewear (100) to remove or absorb perspiration, a coloration or tinting (500) of an outer peripheral edge (120A) of the lens (120) for indicating a performance characteristic of the safety eyewear (100) or the lens (120) and selected absorption of visible wavelengths of light, and temple bars (600,620) of the safety eyewear (100) having adjustable width.

OPTICAL FILTER PANEL HAVING A NARROW-WIDTH SELECTIVE-WAVELENGTH ATTENUATION AND HIGH VISIBLE LIGHT TRANSMISSION
A molded optical filter (10) and a method of molding an optical filter having a characteristic FWHM value of less than at least 59nm with a greatly increased visible light transmission value as compared to the prior art. The optical filter (10) utilizes a sharp cut-on dye incorporated into a moldable polymer base matrix that allows the optical filter (10) to be formed using conventional molding equipment as has been previously unknown in the art.

An emergency eyewash station (10) and dispensing structure (22) therefore is disclosed. The emergency eyewash station (10) includes a main body configured and arranged to hold and dispense eyewash fluid therefrom, an actuator arm assembly (36) movable from a closed position to an open position, and a dispensing structure (22) having an eyepiece (23) sealed by a membrane (26). The eyepiece (23) is in fluid connection with the eyewash fluid contained in the main body. The dispensing structure (22) is removably coupled to the actuator arm assembly (36) such that when the actuator arm assembly (36) is moved from the closed position to the open position, the membrane (26) is unsealed and the eyewash fluid dispenses from the eyepiece (23).
An optical insert (10) and kit (38) for mounting the optical insert into a pair of protective eyewear and converting the optical insert into stand-alone pair of eyewear is disclosed. The optical insert has a frame with a left lens opening and a right lens opening (12). The left lens opening and the right lens opening are configured and arranged to receive a left lens and a right lens (14) therein, respectively. A nose bridge support (16) connects the left lens opening and the right lens opening of the frame together. The nose bridge support has a surface defining a central, vertically orientated, mounting slot (18) therethrough. The central mounting slot is configured and arranged to cooperate with a prong (26) of a mount (24) to releasably couple the optical insert to the protective eyewear. The kit further includes a left temple bar and a right temple bar (40) that are releasably coupled to the left and right sides of the frame, respectively, of the insert and a nose pad support (42) that is releasably secured to the nose bridge structure to convert the optical insert into a stand-alone pair of eyewear.
A pump assembly for an emergency eyewash station and method of retrofitting a plumbed emergency eyewash station is disclosed. The pump is configured into two parts, an impeller assembly (10, 112) and a drive assembly (28, 102), that are configured to couple together. The impeller assembly (10,112) is isolated from the drive assembly (28, 102) and can be easily replaced to ensure a sterile fluid path is maintained for the eyewash fluid. The drive assembly (28, 102) can be fluid powered (28) or an electric motor (106) as desired. The present invention allows a plumbed eyewash station (26) to be retrofitted to use a sterile eyewash fluid. The present invention can also be used in portable eyewash station units (200) too.
An emergency eyewash station is disclosed. The eyewash station (10) includes a body portion (12) and a reservoir (30) contained within the body portion (12). The reservoir (30) contains eyewash fluid and has a filling port (11c) with a sealed membrane (11h) thereon. An actuator assembly (14) is connected to the body portion (12) and is movable between an armed position and an actuated position. The actuator assembly (14) has a dispensing structure (16) thereon. A piercing mechanism (26) is positioned adjacent to the membrane (11h) of the reservoir (30) and has a movable piercing element (28) configured to puncture the membrane (11h) when the actuator assembly (14) is activated. Activating the actuator assembly (14) puts the dispensing structure (16) in fluid connection with the reservoir (30) when the piercing element (28) pierces the membrane (11h). In an alternative embodiment (100), the reservoir (102) is configured to be impaled upon the piercing element upon activation.
An emergency eyewash station is disclosed. The emergency eyewash station (10) has a pivoting actuator arm (14) that includes a headrest assembly (16) to properly position a user's injured eyes the correct distance from the eyewash fluid dispensing eyepiece (18).
A cartridge for an emergency eyewash stations is disclosed. The cartridge assembly (10) includes a housing (12) having a front section (14) and a back section (16) that couple together. The front section (14) has a surface defining an opening (46) into the housing. A sealed, fluid-containing bladder (18) having a dispensing port (52) is contained within the housing. A bracket (20) is configured and arranged to couple to the opening on the front section (14) of the housing (12) such that the dispensing port (52) is captured in a fixed position between the bracket (20) and the surface on the front section (14) defining the opening (46).

An emergency eyewash station is disclosed. The emergency eyewash station (10) includes a reservoir (14) containing an eyewash fluid and a mechanism for dispensing the eyewash fluid from the reservoir to wash an injured person's eyes. An expandable container (20) is configured and arranged to collect used eyewash fluid after the eyewash fluid has been dispensed to wash the injured person's eyes. The station (10) can be further enhanced by equipping the expandable container (20) with a pair of straps (30) configured to compress the reservoir (14) thereby providing a gravity assist to dispensing eyewash fluid.
